  • Upcycle items to sell, gift, or use in your home
  • Ecofriendly buying used vs new (environment)

    LOVE THE BIRD PRINTS, SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS, i CAN’T SEE THE SMALL WRITING VERY WELL. THE LARGE BIRDS I WILL GLUE ON A PIECE OF WOOD AND MAYBE ADD HOOKS AND THE SMALL TAGS I WILL USE FOR BOOKMARKS. THANKS SO MUCH, I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
